Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 21 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Reuben Enterprises ("we", "us", or "our") handles information in House Project Budget. Reuben Enterprises is the data controller for information it receives directly, such as support requests. Apple separately controls information it processes through the App Store and iCloud under Apple's own terms and privacy policy.

Information handled by the app

House Project Budget may handle:

  • Project information you enter, including project names, status, budgets, notes, quotes, expenses, tasks, dates, contractor or supplier details, and included work.
  • Photos, receipts, and files you choose to attach to a project, quote, or expense.
  • Premium entitlement and transaction status supplied by Apple so the app can unlock purchases and restore them.
  • Your contact details and the contents of your message if you contact support.

We do not receive your full payment card details. Apple processes App Store payments.

Where your project data is stored

The app stores project data locally on your iPhone by default. If you are a Premium user and choose to enable iCloud sync, the app copies your local projects into your private Apple iCloud database and uses CloudKit to sync them. Reuben Enterprises does not use your project data for advertising and does not operate a separate account system or project-data server for the app.

Camera, photos, and files

The app uses Apple's system camera, photo picker, and file picker only when you ask to add an attachment. It receives the photo you take or the items you select. It does not scan your entire photo library or file storage.

How we use information

Information is handled only as needed to:

  • Provide budgeting, quote, expense, attachment, export, and sync features.
  • Verify and restore Premium access.
  • Respond to support requests.
  • Protect the service, comply with law, and resolve disputes.

The app does not contain advertising or third-party analytics SDKs, and we do not sell your personal information.

Services provided by Apple

House Project Budget uses:

  • App Store and StoreKit for subscriptions, billing, entitlement verification, and purchase restoration.
  • iCloud and CloudKit for optional sync to your private iCloud database.
  • System camera, photo picker, and file picker for attachments you choose.

Apple may process information in countries outside your own. Apple's processing is governed by its own privacy policy and account settings.

Retention

Local project data remains on your iPhone until you delete the relevant project or remove the app. If you enable iCloud sync, a copy remains in your private iCloud database until you delete it through the app or manage it through your Apple account. Support correspondence is retained only for as long as reasonably needed to answer your request, maintain necessary support records, and comply with legal obligations.

Deleting your data

You can delete a project inside the app. This also deletes that project's quotes, expenses, tasks, and attachments from the active data store. Removing the app deletes its local app data, but may not remove data already stored in iCloud. To remove iCloud data, delete projects while iCloud sync is active or use your Apple iCloud settings.

To request deletion of support correspondence held by Reuben Enterprises, email info@reubenenterprises.com. We may retain limited records where required by law or needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to processing of personal information held by us, and to complain to your local data protection authority. To exercise a right relating to information held by Reuben Enterprises, contact info@reubenenterprises.com. Project data stored only on your device or in your private iCloud database is controlled through the app and your Apple account.

Children

House Project Budget is intended for homeowners and other adults managing home projects. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app or legal requirements change. We will update the effective date and provide any notice required by law.
